Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our essential data integration procedures, including data replication, transformation, and ingestion, have been reduced and are now more efficient and cost-effective than before. Our data integration process was simplified, and both its ease of use and the manner in which it transfers data from one place to another had a good influence on our performance.

Pros

  • It is really easy to scale up the big data integrated projects which helps a lot financially.
  • Sometimes for data replication it's really handy.
  • It can take and capture a large data.

Cons

  • It requires a stable and proper internet connection.
  • Sometimes it's harder to duplicate the environments.
  • Some more documentation could be provided.

Return on Investment

  • Helped a lot for changing the scale.
  • Helped in manual ETL coding to accomplish data integration.
  • It is simple to maintain data consistency from one source to another.

  • Datawarehousing
  • Data Encoding
  • Batch Processing streaming data
  • Handle transactional Metadata
  • Bigdata complications are solved

Cons

  • Few local databases are not compatible
  • Spark processing to be needed
  • Few APi integrations are not compatible

Return on Investment

  • Faster in data replication
  • Faster in data pipeline construction
  • Scalable across all platforms
  • Affordable and ease to use
  • Faster in handling streaming data

Oracle and Salesforce replication to MS SQL Server made easy

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We first used Qlik Replicate to replicate data from the Oracle ERP system to a Microsoft SQL Server BI system. We have also started using Qlik Replicate to replicate from Salesforce to the Microsoft SQL Server BI system.

Pros

  • Flexibility for creating multiple tasks for grouping related tables
  • Table level filters
  • The scheduler feature has been very useful

Cons

  • The scheduler, while useful, has issues when trying to create or adjust a schedule more recent than the current time UTC. That is the one thing I would really like to see improved.

Return on Investment

  • Prior to using Qlik Replicate, we used an ETL solution to copy data from the Oracle ERP system to the Microsoft SQL Server BI system at a 15-minute interval. It was very tedious to maintain. Qlik Replicate is much easier to use and we replicate data near real-time now.
